Abstract

This case report discusses the preoperative assessment and management of a sinonasal mass in a 54-year-old male, initially suspected to be a case of nasal polyposis based on clinical presentation and imaging findings. The patient underwent surgical intervention, but the postoperative histopathological examination revealed an unexpected diagnosis of Angiofibroma. This report highlights the importance of comprehensive preoperative evaluation, including imaging and biopsy, to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure appropriate management of sinonasal masses.
